- <description>

- <p>
- There is a new behaviour
- <seealso marker="gen_statem"><c>gen_statem</c></seealso>
- that is intended to replace <c>gen_fsm</c> for new code.
- <c>gen_fsm</c> will not be removed for the foreseeable future
- to keep old state machine implementations running.
- </p>
- </note>
- <p>This behavior module provides a finite state machine.
- A generic finite state machine process (<c>gen_fsm</c>) implemented
- using this module has a standard set of interface functions
- and includes functionality for tracing and error reporting. It
- also fits into an OTP supervision tree. For more information, see
- <seealso marker="doc/design_principles:fsm">OTP Design Principles</seealso>.
- </p>
-
- <p>A <c>gen_fsm</c> process assumes all specific parts to be located in a
- callback module exporting a predefined set of functions. The relationship
- between the behavior functions and the callback functions is as
- follows:</p>

- <p>If a callback function fails or returns a bad value, the <c>gen_fsm</c>

-
- <p>A <c>gen_fsm</c> process handles system messages as described in

- can be used for debugging a <c>gen_fsm</c> process.</p>
-
- <p>Notice that a <c>gen_fsm</c> process does not trap exit signals

- <p>Unless otherwise stated, all functions in this module fail if

-
- <p>The <c>gen_fsm</c> process can go into hibernation
- (see <seealso marker="erts:erlang#hibernate/3">
- <c>erlang:hibernate/3</c></seealso>) if a callback function
- specifies <c>'hibernate'</c> instead of a time-out value. This
- can be useful if the server is expected to be idle for a long
- time. However, use this feature with care, as hibernation
- implies at least two garbage collections (when hibernating and
- shortly after waking up) and is not something you want to do
- between each call to a busy state machine.</p>

- <note>
- <p>This callback is optional, so callback modules need not
- export it. The <c>gen_fsm</c> module provides a default
- implementation of this function that returns the callback
- module state data.</p>
- </note>
- <p>This function is called by a <c>gen_fsm</c> process in the
- following situations:</p>
- <list type="bulleted">
- <item>One of <seealso marker="sys#get_status/1">
- <c>sys:get_status/1,2</c></seealso>
- is invoked to get the <c>gen_fsm</c> status. <c>Opt</c> is set to
- the atom <c>normal</c> for this case.</item>
- <item>The <c>gen_fsm</c> process terminates abnormally and logs an
- error. <c>Opt</c> is set to the atom <c>terminate</c> for
- this case.</item>
- </list>
- <p>This function is useful for changing the form and
- appearance of the <c>gen_fsm</c> status for these cases. A callback
- module wishing to change the <c>sys:get_status/1,2</c>
- return value as well as how its status appears in
- termination error logs, exports an instance
- of <c>format_status/2</c> that returns a term describing the
- current status of the <c>gen_fsm</c> process.</p>
- <p><c>PDict</c> is the current value of the process dictionary of the
- <c>gen_fsm</c> process.</p>
- <p><c>StateData</c> is the internal state data of the
- <c>gen_fsm</c> process.</p>
- <p>The function is to return <c>Status</c>, a term that
- change the details of the current state and status of
- the <c>gen_fsm</c> process. There are no restrictions on the
- form <c>Status</c> can take, but for
- the <c>sys:get_status/1,2</c> case (when <c>Opt</c>
- is <c>normal</c>), the recommended form for
- the <c>Status</c> value is <c>[{data, [{"StateData",
- Term}]}]</c>, where <c>Term</c> provides relevant details of
- the <c>gen_fsm</c> state data. Following this recommendation is not
- required, but it makes the callback module status
- consistent with the rest of the <c>sys:get_status/1,2</c>
- return value.</p>
- <p>One use for this function is to return compact alternative
- state data representations to avoid that large state terms
- are printed in log files.</p>

+ <p> The semantics of timeout parameter
+ <c>{clean_timeout,infinity}</c> to
+ <c>gen_statem:call/3</c> has been changed to use a proxy
+ process for the call. With this change
+ <c>clean_timeout</c> implicates a proxy process with no
+ exceptions. This may be a hard to observe
+ incompatibility: in the presence of network problems a
+ late reply could arrive in the caller's message queue
+ when catching errors. That will not happen after this
+ correction. </p><p> The semantics of timeout parameter

+ <p>A new logging API is added to Erlang/OTP, see the
+ <seealso
+ marker="kernel:logger"><c>logger(3)</c></seealso> manual
+ page, and section <seealso
+ marker="kernel:logger_chapter">Logging</seealso> in the
+ Kernel User's Guide.</p>
+ <p>Calls to <c>error_logger</c> are automatically
+ redirected to the new API, and legacy error logger event
+ handlers can still be used. It is, however, recommended
+ to use the Logger API directly when writing new code.</p>
+ <p>Notice the following potential incompatibilities:</p>
+ <list> <item><p>Kernel configuration parameters
+ <c>error_logger</c> still works, but is overruled if the
+ default handler's output destination is configured with
+ Kernel configuration parameter <c>logger</c>.</p> <p>In
+ general, parameters for configuring error logger are
+ overwritten by new parameters for configuring
+ Logger.</p></item> <item><p>The concept of SASL error
+ logging is deprecated, meaning that by default the SASL
+ application does not affect which log events are
+ logged.</p> <p>By default, supervisor reports and crash
+ reports are logged by the default Logger handler started
+ by Kernel, and end up at the same destination (terminal
+ or file) as other standard log event from Erlang/OTP.</p>
+ <p>Progress reports are not logged by default, but can be
+ enabled by setting the primary log level to info, for
+ example with the Kernel configuration parameter
+ <c>logger_level</c>.</p> <p>To obtain backwards
+ compatibility with the SASL error logging functionality
+ from earlier releases, set Kernel configuration parameter
+ <c>logger_sasl_compatible</c> to <c>true</c>. This
+ prevents the default Logger handler from logging any
+ supervisor-, crash-, or progress reports. Instead, SASL
+ adds a separate Logger handler during application start,
+ which takes care of these log events. The SASL
+ configuration parameters <c>sasl_error_logger</c> and
+ <c>sasl_errlog_type</c> specify the destination (terminal
+ or file) and severity level to log for these
+ events.</p></item></list>
+ <p>
+ Since Logger is new in Erlang/OTP 21.0, we do reserve the
+ right to introduce changes to the Logger API and
+ functionality in patches following this release. These
+ changes might or might not be backwards compatible with
+ the initial version.</p>

+ <p> Functions <c>rand:uniform_real/0</c> and

+ produce uniformly distributed numbers in the range <c>0.0
+ =&lt; X &lt; 1.0</c> that are as close to random real
+ numbers as Normalized IEEE 754 Double Precision allows.
+ Because the random real number exactly <c>0.0</c> is
+ infinitely improbable they will never return exactly
+ <c>0.0</c>. </p><p> These properties are useful when you
+ need to call for example <c>math:log(X)</c> or <c>1 /
+ X</c> on a random value <c>X</c>, since that will never
+ fail with a number from these new functions. </p>

+ used for limiting the number of returned characters. The
+ limit is soft, which means that the number of returned
+ characters exceeds the limit with at most a smallish
+ amount. If the limit is set, the functions
+ <c>format/3</c> and <c>fwrite/3</c> try to distribute the
+ number of characters evenly over the control sequences
+ <c>pPswW</c>. Furthermore, the control sequences
+ <c>pPwP</c> try to distribute the number of characters
+ evenly over substructures. </p> <p> A modification of the
+ control sequences <c>pPwW</c> is that even if there is no
+ limit on the number of returned characters, all
+ associations of a map are printed to the same depth. The
+ aim is to give a more consistent output as the order of
+ map keys is not defined. As before, if the depth is less
+ than the number of associations of a map, the selection
+ of associations to print is arbitrary. </p>

+ Undocumented (old) algorithms are deprecated but still implemented

+ <note>
+ <p>
+ There were a number of problems in the implementation
+ of the now undocumented algorithms, which is why
+ they are deprecated. The new algorithms are a bit slower
+ but do not have these problems:
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Uniform integer ranges had a skew in the probability distribution
+ that was not noticable for small ranges but for large ranges
+ less than the generator's precision the probability to produce
+ a low number could be twice the probability for a high.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Uniform integer ranges larger than or equal to the generator's
+ precision used a floating point fallback that only calculated
+ with 52 bits which is smaller than the requested range
+ and therefore were not all numbers in the requested range
+ even possible to produce.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Uniform floats had a non-uniform density so small values
+ i.e less than 0.5 had got smaller intervals decreasing
+ as the generated value approached 0.0 although still uniformly
+ distributed for sufficiently large subranges. The new algorithms
+ produces uniformly distributed floats on the form N * 2.0^(-53)
+ hence equally spaced.

<description>
<p>This module provides functions for string processing.</p>
+ <p>A string in this module is represented by <seealso marker="unicode#type-chardata">
+ <c>unicode:chardata()</c></seealso>, that is, a list of codepoints,
+ binaries with UTF-8-encoded codepoints
+ (<em>UTF-8 binaries</em>), or a mix of the two.</p>
+ <code>
+"abcd" is a valid string
+&lt;&lt;"abcd">> is a valid string
+["abcd"] is a valid string
+&lt;&lt;"abc..åäö"/utf8>> is a valid string
+&lt;&lt;"abc..åäö">> is NOT a valid string,
+ but a binary with Latin-1-encoded codepoints
+[&lt;&lt;"abc">>, "..åäö"] is a valid string
+[atom] is NOT a valid string</code>
+ <p>
+ This module operates on grapheme clusters. A <em>grapheme cluster</em>
+ is a user-perceived character, which can be represented by several
+ codepoints.
+ </p>
+ <code>
+"å" [229] or [97, 778]
+"e̊" [101, 778]</code>
+ <p>
+ The string length of "ß↑e̊" is 3, even though it is represented by the
+ codepoints <c>[223,8593,101,778]</c> or the UTF-8 binary
+ <c>&lt;&lt;195,159,226,134,145,101,204,138>></c>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Grapheme clusters for codepoints of class <c>prepend</c>
+ and non-modern (or decomposed) Hangul is not handled for performance
+ reasons in
+ <seealso marker="#find/3"><c>find/3</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#replace/3"><c>replace/3</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#split/2"><c>split/2</c></seealso>,
+ <seealso marker="#lexemes/2"><c>split/2</c></seealso> and
+ <seealso marker="#trim/3"><c>trim/3</c></seealso>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Splitting and appending strings is to be done on grapheme clusters
+ borders.
+ There is no verification that the results of appending strings are
+ valid or normalized.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Most of the functions expect all input to be normalized to one form,
+ see for example <seealso marker="unicode#characters_to_nfc_list/1">
+ <c>unicode:characters_to_nfc_list/1</c></seealso>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Language or locale specific handling of input is not considered
+ in any function.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ The functions can crash for non-valid input strings. For example,
+ the functions expect UTF-8 binaries but not all functions
+ verify that all binaries are encoded correctly.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Unless otherwise specified the return value type is the same as
+ the input type. That is, binary input returns binary output,
+ list input returns a list output, and mixed input can return a
+ mixed output.</p>
+ <code>
+1> string:trim(" sarah ").
+"sarah"
+2> string:trim(&lt;&lt;" sarah ">>).
+&lt;&lt;"sarah">>
+3> string:lexemes("foo bar", " ").
+["foo","bar"]
+4> string:lexemes(&lt;&lt;"foo bar">>, " ").
+[&lt;&lt;"foo">>,&lt;&lt;"bar">>]</code>

+ <description>
+ <p>This module contains functions for parsing and handling URIs
+ (<url href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</url>) and
+ form-urlencoded query strings (<url href="https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/">HTML 5.2</url>).
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Parsing and serializing non-UTF-8 form-urlencoded query strings are also supported
+ (<url href="https://www.w3.org/TR/html50/">HTML 5.0</url>).
+ </p>
+ <p>A URI is an identifier consisting of a sequence of characters matching the syntax
+ rule named <em>URI</em> in <url href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</url>.
+ </p>
+ <p> The generic URI syntax consists of a hierarchical sequence of components referred
+ to as the scheme, authority, path, query, and fragment:</p>
+ <pre>
+ URI = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ] [ "#" fragment ]
+ hier-part = "//" authority path-abempty
+ / path-absolute
+ / path-rootless
+ / path-empty
+ scheme = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "." )
+ authority = [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ]
+ userinfo = *( unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" )
+
+ reserved = gen-delims / sub-delims
+ gen-delims = ":" / "/" / "?" / "#" / "[" / "]" / "@"
+ sub-delims = "!" / "$" / "&amp;" / "'" / "(" / ")"
+ / "*" / "+" / "," / ";" / "="
+
+ unreserved = ALPHA / DIGIT / "-" / "." / "_" / "~"
+ </pre><br></br>
+ <p>The interpretation of a URI depends only on the characters used and not on how those
+ characters are represented in a network protocol.</p>
+ <p>The functions implemented by this module cover the following use cases:</p>

+ </list>
+ <p>Functions with <c>uri_string()</c> argument accept lists, binaries and
+ mixed lists (lists with binary elements) as input type. All of the functions but
+ <c>transcode/2</c> expects input as lists of unicode codepoints, UTF-8 encoded binaries
+ and UTF-8 percent-encoded URI parts ("%C3%B6" corresponds to the unicode character "ö").</p>
+ <p>Unless otherwise specified the return value type and encoding are the same as the input
+ type and encoding. That is, binary input returns binary output, list input returns a list
+ output but mixed input returns list output.</p>
+ <p>In case of lists there is only percent-encoding. In binaries, however, both binary encoding
+ and percent-encoding shall be considered. <c>transcode/2</c> provides the means to convert
+ between the supported encodings, it takes a <c>uri_string()</c> and a list of options
+ specifying inbound and outbound encodings.</p>
+ <p><url href="https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt">RFC 3986</url> does not mandate any specific
